The Definitive Source for High-Quality Precision Shoulder Screws
Shoulder screws are different from machine screws in appearance and function. These screws feature cylinder shaped heads that have various drive types such as: hex socket drive, 6-lobe (Torx® alternative) drive, slotted or cross recessed drive.
Shoulder screws feature a large unthreaded, cylindrical shank that is also referred to as a 'shoulder' (hence the name). The unthreaded shank that begins below a small undercut right under the head of the screw, steps down to a reduced diameter thread.
Owing to their unique design, these screws allow a mating part to revolve around the shoulder freely after installation. This permits their use in applications such as securing gears pullies and cams. These screws are widely used in electronic equipment to secure printer heads.
